1969 Chevelle Build Sheets

 

To be accurate, the term "build sheet" is the term used by most enthusiasts for the paperwork that was "broadcast" to various work stations in the assembly plant, and are known as a "broadcast" sheet. It is that elusive piece of paper that everyone wants to find in their car and few actually do.  The paperwork gives a breakdown of components to be used to build the car. To the assembly plant, once a station was done with their portion, such as the trim shop, the paperwork was essentially trash. They would attach the paperwork to one of several places so it could be matched up with the body at the correct time.

 

The 1969 model year saw the U.S. plants gradually migrate from the BODY BROADCAST COPY (BBC) sheet used by Fisher Body and the CHASSIS BROADCAST SHEET (CBS)  used by Chevrolet. The Atlanta plant is the only U.S. plant to continue using the BBC and CBS paperwork.

 

The build sheet and BBS and CBS paperwork were often used at the same plant and early build sheets often had no dates.

 

See Baltimore, and Kansas City for more specifics on their broadcast copy sheets.

 

See Baltimore, Fremont, Kansas City, and Oshawa for more specifics on their build sheets and Line Schedule Tags.

 

GM of Canada has similar paperwork called a Line Schedule Tag. A company called Vintage Vehicle Services in Oshawa can provide paperwork showing the details of any Chevelle either built in Canada (either for sale in Canada or exported to the U.S.) or originally sold in Canada (either build in Canada or imported into Canada) for a nominal fee. Typically any Chevelle imported for sale in Canada came from the Baltimore plant since it was the closest.
